WIN! 2 Tickets to the NEU Future Festival After Party @ Migas

NEU ’17 is billed as China’s “first international future festival.” The inaugural NEU was held in Berlin in 2016 and featuring over 5,000 attendees, was a rad tech and music conference highlighting artists from China and Berlin. Expect the same at NEU ’17.

But what exactly is a ‘future’ festival? According to its organizers, the festival will see experts from different industries, such as tech, science, music, the visual arts, film and media, explore questions about a host of topical issues (like global warming, investments, changes in energy and culture, AI and VR). The festival will be held across venues -- including UCCA and Migas -- and over 30 speakers, performers and hosts from eight different countries are expected to grace the stages.

To cap off the festival, there will be a wild retro party at Migas on Sunday night

International live music and DJ sets complete the weekend’s activities. The first announcement of speakers includes media mogul Hung Huang, Intro magazine editor-in-chief Thomas Venker, Alesca Life CEO Stu Oda, senior producer at CNN's Beijing bureau Steven Jiang and co-founder of FakeMusicMedia Philipp Grefer. Musical guests include SHAO and GOOOOOSE.

There will also be an epic after party at Migas on Saturday at 10pm (RMB60). NEU is going totally 80s for the celebration. Drinks will be flowing. Plus it's a great chance to mingle with your favorite speakers and artists from the festival.
